These jackasses still only have enhanced hand cannon loader and targeting, nothing enhanced for other primaries. Insane.
I mean, obviously hand cannons need the help. Just being four times as strong as everything else wasnt enough.
Also notice no one at bungie plays a hunter
You can beat HC users if you play well. You really do need to stop whining about them and learn to effectively counter. They are nowhere near as opressive as you like to make them out to be.
I'm definitely going for one. Got any recommendations for pvp rolls? I just got my first Service Revolver from a Strike, but that handcannon doesn't really pack a punch. I do love using the Austringer tho, but 150 RPM HCs are a better archetype and I want to try one out.
Opening shot, range finder... outflaw/rapid hit, kill clip... moving target... it really depends on your playstyle. If you're sitting back taking shots at range, then perks that increase range... if you're diving into the fray more often, then something like outlaw / kill-clip is going to be huge.
You can't go wrong with any of the HCs you mentioned, but I also think 150s are where it's at.
This is literally me except I'm only 1808 and not Fabled yet. But even getting to this level was something I never would have thought possible back in the day. And most of my improvement is just from watching people who are better than I am and copying what they are doing and practicing that as often as I can. Practice, practice, practice if you want to be better. If it worked for me it can work for anyone.
The issue is, imo, that most will go in with bad habits and not look at what they're doing wrong and just blame the game... the meta... basically, what Shark does about HCs. It's always something else that is stopping them from progress, not their own methods.
Now, of course there is some RNG involved in terms of team mates, etc... and there's not much you can do if you have a brain dead team and you're Vs a focused group, but you don't need to win EVERY game to make progress. It might be slow, but you only need to be positive. And hitting Fabled... there are enough players out there making the climb that do not try to fix their own playstyle that you will be able to make if if you do, that advantage alone is going to carry you over the line.
And as you say, if I can do it with my ageing pvp skills (I also have other elements of disability that make pvp awkward at times) then most people here can too.
Oh yeh, ping me if you need help now mate. I'm down for lands of comp as I'm grinding out Recluse and Luna!
Well yeah, that's why I made at least three different references to time in the initial post. I know how long it took me just to not be a piñata. But it was worth it because now I don't have to be the guy embarrassing myself in public pretending it's Bungie's fault I can't get Last Word. I get to stick to my usual lanes for that.
It's frustrating to see people literally hunt out as many things to blame for their lack of progress when a shift in mindset is all it would take to nudge them over the line... in time.
